What to expect
In the nineteenth century, the square dedicated to Camillo Benso Count of Cavour did not exist, in its place, there was a harbor now buried. At first, the square was characterized by boutiques and arcades, the buildings we can see today were built over the years. In a very short time, Piazza Cavour became a veritable "city lounge". At the end of 1800, in the center of the square a fountain was built and later it was installed in the Bronx Park in New York. At the beginning of the 20th century, three flowerbeds (still present) were placed on the sides of the square. Tramline tracks were built and later on replaced by a road. Around the 1950s it was used as a car park. At the end of the nineties, ten jets of water installed inside the northern flowerbed constituted the last architectural contribution to the place. The square is liable to flood because of its construction on the lake.
20 minutes
Teatro Sociale, theatre in Como, designed by architect Giuseppe Cusi, was built in 1811 using the existing structure of an ancient castle (we can see the original walls even today). The first show took place in 1813 and nowadays you can enjoy theatre performances but it is also a good place to organize ceremonies, weddings, business events.
